Description

The Wexford LR.1905/19 carbine was a semi-automatic conversion of the LR.1905/15 rifle intended to fire the 9x19mm Parabellum pistol cartridge - the standard issue pistol cartridge of the Tiperyn Realm Defence.

The carbine was intended to supplement the nation's meager supply of automatic rifles and submachine guns and would serve until 1922 when this supply had grown. Differences between it and the standard-issue bolt action rifle of the time included an attachment that converted it to fire 9x19mm cartridges from a delayed blowback action and a 9mm caliber barrel to replace the original 6.5mm barrel. Theoretically, the new receiver could be utilized with any LR.1905/15 already in service if a new barrel was also issued. However, the new receiver was used exclusively on shortened factory-manufactured LR.1905/19 carbines intended specifically for storming trenches.

The LR.1905/19 was rushed into service shortly after Tiperyn's entry into the Grand Campaigns and would serve until 1922 a whole three-years before the war's end. Many LR.1905/19s were provided to communist revolutionaries in Teutonia in 1923 and republican rebels in Kodeshia in 1923.

I assume the sights are offset as well given the magazine is loading from the top? ๐Ÿ˜ฏ
